Follow up to my first response to you.
What do you know about Parvo Virus and its prognosis. Want to prepare for what is coming down the pike.

If I remember correctly @jennifer0726 may have experience with Parvo. Jennifer, are you there? 🙂

@caretakermom
If I remember correctly @danab may have some experience with Parvo.

Hi Rosemary! 😊 I hope all is well with you! Do you remember some of the transplant patients that mentioned they got the Parvo virus?
@caretakermom is trying to find out about it and it's prognosis. I remember several members mentioning that they had it and recovered nicely.

@caretakermom
While we are waiting for @danab to respond, I asked Gemini about the parvo virus and kidney transplant patients. The number one treatment is to lower the dosage of immune suppression, or change the medication, to allow your hubby's body to resolve the virus.
Unfortunately, the symptoms of parvo are anemia and extreme fatigue so your local nephrologist is correct to test.

@caretakermom
Just an FYI:
In an older thread, did you see @danab comment that he was given IVIG infusions for Parvo? It looks like IVIG infusions are intravenous immunoglobulin antibodies to fight the virus. Usually used in conjunction with lowering immune suppression.
